PAGING EJB's and jsp - Urgent help Needed

Hai Everybody, i am doing paging using stateful Ejb by maintaing the resultset state in stateful session bean. The problem i have is since resultset is not serializable , when ejbPassivates i will have to explicitly set it to null and in ejbActivate i will have to rewrite the code to get back the resultset. Is there any other way of doing it. one alternative is to covert the resultset into serializable object and to preserve the serializable objects state rather than resultset. Can u suggest me any other best approach to do paging using jsp and Ejb's please reply as early as possible
